Colours....

The whole world is colour on the back patio. Himself planted his flowerbed, and I believe I'm as done as I'm going to be for a while. (until Mel spies new colours to add to the existing ones!)

It's quiet.
It's peaceful.
It's colourful--and the flutterbies and hummers are already liking it.
Yup--hummers already. Erica Hummer was by a few times yesterday while I was putzing in the back yard, transplanting seedlings to their new spots, creating new places for colours.

Himself was pleased.
He's an allergy sufferer and doesn't spend time on the patio like I do. He's a 'drive-by' sitter.....shows up, sits a bit, and then zooms off to do another somethingorother....

Yup.
Pretty much set for summer to creep up and happen......and it's trying! It was in the 90's yesterday. GREAT day to have off. Great day to putz around the yard at will.
Great day to zip in, take care of a couple 'must do' work things and zip out.
(He didn't even miss me....LOL)

And today--it's a colourful little spot I'm about to retreat to, given that the work day's done and there's hours of light left to chat at the critters.

I think we'll talk about how slick I am....not only did I slip the jaunt to work in without himself noticing it--I outfoxed the squirrel on that corn feeder deal.
HA!

k....that's a 'so far'....LOL

Thanks for sharing the awesome color, dear lady!
